Doing the brawl today, and we get a healer (druid) with 78k hp… My first thought was that this guy has rez sickness, but a quick inspect revealed mostly questing greens. I made it a point to try and sit with this healer and peel for him… But the first fury warrior who saw him, just ripped straight into this guy.
Warrior charges, I grip warrior away and out, I Asphyxiate, he trinkets, leaps back in and fears druid, I grip warrior out again (2 charges) and he storm bolts me, I trinket, warrior is running back to druid (who is still feared), I gorefiend warrior back to me, warrior simply runs back to druid, druid attempts what I think was a root, warrior interrupts him… It’s over in seconds…
I don’t have to tell you how that game went with that healer occupying such a pivotal role… I am not one for excluding anyone from casual content, but for crying out loud, even LFR has ilvl requirements.

What would you set it to?
I read this and all I could think about in my head was this Fury Warrior player breathing frantically and salivating over wanting a tender Druid snack.

Do rated if you want geared teammates.

I want just brackets based on Ilevel not level. The power struggle of a fresh 120 to one thats been mained the entire Expac is rediculous. The number crunch was worthless if the numbers are just going to skyrocket again at the end of an expac.

It’s a random casual BG bro. Some people don’t like quests or dungeons and that’s how they gear.
Deal with it or go play rated

There shouldn’t be separate battlegrounds, I feel like it was better the way it used to be. There’s never not going to be the over geared versus the under geared dynamic in this game.
Some of us think this component is a positive raises hand. I work for gear, do the time sink, reap the benefit of that.

That’s because you’re some kind of sick and twisted individual. You’re like, a masochist and sadist mixed into one. You get steamrolled over and over and over, collect your gear after all the lovely pain, then go on a rampage. Inflicting your maximum damages to all those geared less than you, making them cry to the forums and loving every second of it.

Even LFD requires you to be at a certain Ilvl before you can que. It’s a pretty low bar too… I do not think such a requirement would be unreasonable for bgs.

I’m not really a fan of the whole ilvl requirements for things concept. But since it is in the game, it is strange how dungeons and raids have them, but PvP does not.

My jealousy is outed, please take me on your mad killing sprees.
Well, here we go again. If you play the game because all you enjoy is the BGs, then the only way you obtain gear is by doing BGs, then that’s what you get. A lot of people, including myself don’t WANT to WQ or PvE, so we get gear by doing BGs.
Blizz has decided to not include PvP vendors this xpac, so we just have to rely on RNG.
Not only that, but the people who DO enjoy PvE, get much better gear and can out power those who just love doing BGs all day because the rewards from just doing BGs is nowhere near what you get from PvE.
There is no need to add ilvl requirements. That is what rated is for. Randoms are for those who actually enjoy BGs, win or lose.

And of course I check out OPs profile and he’s in all PvE gear, except one ring. This is the problem lately with WoW, PvE players trying to dictate the direction of PvP. /smh

Well, they whined about twinks so the locked exp guys are now out and queue times got worse. Now we are going to exclude the gimped geared from the game. Good luck with the 45 minute queue times.

Since they dropped the patch and the forums lit up with twinks separated, I have been saying that, there is literally no difference between a fresh 120 vs a GEARED 120 and any other bracket of pvp.
I am not even that geared, 383 ilvl atm, but I can 3 shot a fresh 120. I don’t think that’s a bad thing ever, it took work and time to get what gear I do have, so why shouldn’t I be more powerful, this isn’t a FPS, this is an RPG, your power is for your time vested, not just because you entered a BG.

Yeah, you are right, but if you do LFR then you probably like to PvE. So you go do some PvE to gear up. What can people who just like to BG do to gear up if they don’t like PvE?
no need for ilvl restrictions, GEAR needs to matter, the better geared you are, the more damage you do and less damage you take, this is stupid getting lite up people that have NO gear because of the “percentage” of damage done, if you have 80k hp, ANYONE SHOULD one shot you at ALL times or pretty damn near close to it… and this goes for ALL pvp
